Construction - Converting video files

Today i imported all my footage onto the Apple Mac. I then used Toast Titanium to convert my footage into HDV (High Definition Video) .mov (Quicktime) so that it is compatible with the Apple programs I will use for editing such as Final Cut Pro, After Effects CS5 and Motion. Once the conversion is complete i will then copy all my footage onto the brain (External Hard Drive) so that there is no way I can lose my footage. I will then wipe the footage from the camera so it is ready for the next time someone uses it to film. I also signed out a video mic for this week so i can record Terry's monologue.
